Default 39.5" irok or 37" rocker?

Im looking to get another set of tires since my current iroks only have about 5k left in them. Soon the jeep wont be my daily driver anymore, so a bias tire will last longer than a few months on it.

I still have the d30 in the front, but plan on wheeling with it till it goes, but i have already started saving back for a pr44. Im also staying with a 15" wheel to keep cost lower compared to 17's.

I wanna go with either the 39.5x13.50x15 irok bias, or the 37x12.50x15 pitbull rocker, if anyone have any pics of them on their jeep please post them up

i would, but i cant go that wide, i would have to get new wheels, and its hard enough to get it inspected with 13.50's

well the irok isnt mounted on my jeep but it is 39.5x13.5x18 and my rockers are 37x12.5x15
here they are side by side





And a couple of the rockers on my jeep




I will say now other than being bigger the Iroks looked unimpressive sitting beside a rocker. and although it says my tire is an inch narrower it actually measured an inch wider

remember, those tires are H E A V Y That d30 doesnt stand a chance in hell. honestly i'd stay radial, even like a 36 or 37 irok. I'd go with a D60, why even waste your money on a PR44.. it sounds like you will eventually go up into a 40+ tire anyway... but as far as purely tire opinion goes, i'd go with a Pit Bull all the way.. they rock! once the iroks on my 4runner wear out (or if i sell the iroks) i'm going to get some 38 inch pitbulls.

john, how do you like your rockers now that you have had them for a while? I want to go to 37's next, and those rockers look great. How are they holding up mileage wise, and do they ride good on the street?
